Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese has had an outstanding rookie season in the WNBA, setting multiple all-time records for rebounding and double-doubles. She is averaging 14.6 points and 13.2 rebounds per game.
On Saturday, Reese announced that her rookie season in the WNBA has come to a close.
“What a year,” Reese said. “I never thought my last shot of the rookie season would be a three-pointer, but maybe that was a sign from God to show them what to expect in Year 2, lol. Despite everything, I’ve proven that I belong in this league, even when others doubted me.”
Reese added, “All I have ever wanted was to come into the W and make an impact. I can confidently say I have done that and will strive to keep doing so. I’m filled with emotions right now that I have a season ending injury, but also filled with so much gratitude for what is next.
Also sharing this announcement on Instagram, Reese received a message from 14-year NBA veteran Quentin Richardson
Richardson played the first four of his 13 NBA seasons with the LA Clippers, and now co-hosts the Knuckleheads Podcast with his former teammate Darius Miles.
While Reese did not specify what her season-ending injury was, the Sky announced that a wrist injury is what will sideline her for the remainder of the season.
